"A fuel oil burner, to achieve perma- nent commercial success, must burn the heavy by-jirodncts commonly sold as fuel oil, for no other fuel can com- pare favorably with the cost of heatinjj with coal. "Another common question asked relates to the freezing of fuel oil in cold weather. The unprincipled sales- man for an oil burner confined to light oils endeavors to frighten jirospective purchasers by assertions that fuel oil solidifies in winter, clogs pijx's and burners and causes frecpient interrup- tion to heat supjdy. The facts are that standard fuel oil is fluid at zero, and out of hundreds of household instal- lations with outdoor tanks which have burned standard fuid oil for several winters, not a single inter- ruption due to solidifying of oil or clogging of pi{>es lias occurred. '' The reason is simple. The insurance and city regulations riMjuire that out- door storage tanks be buried with their tops at least two and one half feet be- low ground, and the frost line, or ?,'2 de- grees, seldom goes lower than six to eight inches. In addition, oil is one of the best heat insulators and if the upper surface of a tank of oil thickened, the lower portion, where the suction line draws its sujiply, would still be liriuid. and as the level of oil receded it would be toward a higher temperature zone. "In severely cold weather futd oil deliveries in 1,000 and 'iDO gallon tank trucks are regularly made in a radius of twenty five miles without the slightest unloading difficulties by sending the oil out warm from the dealers' tanks, which are readily heated by steam coils.
